背景：尽管大约6%-13%的学龄儿童运动协调性差，但精细和粗大运动技能方面的困难往往被忽视为发育问题。从学校适应的角度理解运动协调是很重要的。这项纵向队列研究旨在确定学龄前儿童的精细运动技能和粗大运动技能是否可以预测未来的学习成绩和心理社会适应不良。方法和程序：研究对象为2,501名幼儿园和小学儿童(5-13岁)。学龄前儿童的运动技能在进入小学之前由他们的幼儿园老师进行了评估。结果：学龄前儿童早期运动障碍对学习成绩和心理社会适应不良有显著影响，直至小学六年级。学龄前儿童的粗大运动障碍与以后的同伴问题和情绪症状的恶化有关。结论：学龄前儿童的运动技能可以预测以后的心理社会适应不良和学习成绩。(C)2021年日本儿童神经病学学会。爱思唯尔出版，版权所有。
Background: Difficulties in fine and gross motor skills are often overlooked as developmental problems, although approximately 6-13% of all school-age children have poor motor coordination. Understanding motor coordination is important from the perspective of school adaptation. This longitudinal cohort study aimed to determine whether fine and gross motor skills in preschool children predict later academic achievement and psychosocial maladaptation.Methods & Procedures: Participants were 2,501 children from nursery and elementary schools (5-13 years old). The motor skills of preschool children were assessed by their nursery teacher immediately before entering elementary school. The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire and a standardized Japanese test were administered annually throughout elementary school.Results: Early motor difficulties in preschool children had significant effects on their academic achievement and psychosocial maladaptation up until the sixth grade. Gross motor difficulties in preschool were associated with the later peer problems and worsened emotional symptoms.Conclusions: Motor skills in preschool children are useful as a predictor of later psychosocial maladaptation and academic achievement.
